Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG?

In Bloomington IN, the spiral ham was at price point of $131 with around $13 per pound. Same one in Ohio was in the vicinity of $10 for whole thing with just buck per pound same ham so go figure where you spending right or wrong.

It took me a trip to Shanghai to realize that batteries aren’t that expensive for EVs and Americans pay around 20x of what Chinese pay.

Doesn't bother me at all.  I just ignore them.

What bothers me is the insane MSRP that gets put on an item so the dealer can "discount" you 20 or 30% so you feel like you got a deal. For example an ARC Ref 750 MSRP is a cool $84,000 plus tax. Are they insane? Have you ever looked inside one of these? Cheap frame, messy wiring, not very impressive caps....disappointing from a once great company. 

Then someone wants to sell a used one a decade old they ask $42,000 arguing that "It's half of retail".  No it is not. And it won't sell anywhere near that. And it didn't sell for anywhere near MSRP when it was new. 

everyone now selling KEF LS50 Meta for $999 ... is MSRP $1499 or $999 ?

No - it’s expected nowadays to be very careful as it seems many would bend(?) the truth for financial gain.  Sure it seems like honor, honesty, and keeping one’s word are going downhill, but I try not to get bogged down in “wishful” thinking like “it would be nice if….” as it seems like a waste of time.
